RE: [apple-iphone] Some notes from today’s event
1. ITunes 10 is not live. Site still saying "Coming Soon"
2. Cable is most certainly not obsolete. Several folks in a household and several TVs and its most certainly not going to be 10 shows a week, more like 10 per person. Also my cable includes several movie channels ALSO I can DVR and watch anything , anytime I want, no 48 hour restriction My Cable gives me over 200 channel choices, DVR , several movie channels on a unlimited number of TVs all for less than $100 per month. Apple TV is sorta neat but its certainly not going to replace Cable…(Oh and what about local programming, local news ??????)

- iTunes 10 is already live.
Renting movies and TV shows does two things. It makes cable obsolete.
It also means that TV shows now are a buck a pop or more. If you watch
10 shows (Fox and ABC) a week, that is $40. Not a bad tradeoff at that
frequency. $4.99 for first run movies is also OK, but I still like
buying BlueRay for the good stuff. Also, what hardware/OS is AppleTV
running? At that size, it is a variant of iOS on A4 most likely. At
$99, this will no longer be a hobby.
